True to its name, the leaves and stems of stinging nettles are known to release natural chemicals that irritate the skin.</p><p>Despite its rather infamous reputation, stinging nettles has long been part of <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK92773/" target="_blank">traditional herbal medicine</a>. For centuries, stinging nettles have been brewed into medicinal tea that naturally contains profuse amounts of biologically active compounds that improves general health.</p><h1>Nettle Tea as Traditional Medicine</h1><p>For hundreds of years, stinging nettles have been used in traditional herbal medicine. Nettle&nbsp;tea&nbsp;is&nbsp;known to be a natural curative for arthritis and gout, for <a href="http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/understanding-anemia-basics" target="_blank">anemia</a>, and urinary discomfort. Nettles have also been used as a topical agent in treating <a href="http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/eczema/" target="_blank">eczema</a>, insect bites, skin allergies and even painful muscles.</p><p>But about the <a href="http://health%20benefits%20of%20stinging%20nettle%20tea">health benefits of stinging nettle tea</a>?</p><p>The root and leaves of stinging nettles possess various biologically active compounds. These include flavonoids such as quercetin which possesses profound antioxidant properties. Antioxidants counteract free radicals that result from oxidative stress. Without sufficient antioxidant presence in the body, free radicals often prove to be detrimental to cellular membranes and DNA.</p><p>Nettles also possess a number of healthy compounds. Beta-sitosterol, for instance, found in nettles helps your heart by lowering dietary fats levels in your blood.</p><h2>Harvesting Stinging Nettles</h2><p>Stinging nettles are called as such for good reason. A momentary brush with any part of the plant will cause your skin a mildly painful irritation that can last for a couple of hours. It is imperative that you wear gloves partnered with long-sleeved tops and long pants when harvesting nettles. It is best to use a pair of garden clippers or sharp enough scissors to cut the top two bracts of nettle leaves. This way, you still allow for the rest of the nettle plant to regenerate.</p><h2>Brewing Nettle Tea</h2><p>Because of its relevant medicinal properties that treat various skin conditions, people are taking interest in learning <a href="http://www.nettletea.com/acne/">how to make organic nettle tea recipe for acne</a>.</p><p>A fresh cup of nettle tea requires about a cupful of fresh nettles leaves. First, place the nettle leaves you have gathered into a container— a pot or a kettle would be ideal. It best to add two cups of water for every cup of nettle leaves. Once done, you just bring the water to a boil.</p><p>Depending on your preferred taste, you can enjoy a stronger nettle flavor by letting the mixture steep longer. Should you want a milder flavor, you just simply add more water. Once the water has boiled, reduce heat and let simmer for a few minutes.</p><p>Pour through a small strainer and you have yourself a fresh cup of nettle tea to drink— and a brimful of <a href="http://www.nettletea.com/health-benefits/">organic nettle leaf tea benefits</a>.

During medieval times in Europe, the stinging nettle was a popular medicinal agent used to treat joint pains. During the medieval time too, the plant was also used as a natural diuretic.</p><p>In more recent years, experts are looking into the medicinal properties of <a href="http://www.nettletea.com/lupus/">organic nettle leaf tea for lupus</a>.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a non-cancerous condition that mainly results to excessive prostate gland enlargement. This condition often interferes with urination in men.</p><p>In Europe especially, stinging nettle is actively used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. A growing body of clinical studies confirms the nettles medicinal value in the treatment of BPH. For instance, the Journal of Herbal Pharmacotherapy reports of a six-month clinical study involving 600 participants afflicted with BPH. Researchers report that 81 percent of subjects who regularly consumed nettle preparation had an observable reduction of BPH symptoms compared to participants who were given placebo treatment. There are also several studies, that of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering for instance, that suggest that nettle could potentially inhibit the growth of prostate cancer in laboratory animals.</p><h3>How to Make a Fresh Cup of Nettle Tea</h3><p>Preparing a fresh cup of nettle tea is quite easy.

Made distinct by its vibrant red color and tart sweet flavor, hibiscus tea might as well be the perfect summertime beverage. Although, that’s not all of the good stuff.</p><h1>Hibiscus&nbsp;as&nbsp;Traditional Medicine</h1><p>The hibiscus plant, grown originally in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa, has long been known in traditional medicine for its prominent health benefits. So <a href="http://www.hibiscusteabenefits.net/">what are the health benefits of organic hibiscus tea bags recipe</a>?</p><p>The people of Egypt and Sudan, for instance, traditionally use this herb to help regulate normal body temperatures. While Europeans and North Africans have long since learned <a href="http://www.hibiscusteabenefits.net/health-benefits/">how to make hibiscus tea to lower blood pressure</a>.</p><p>In recent years, a growing number of researchers and fitness enthusiasts alike have taken interest in the weight loss potential of the hibiscus plant. Homemade hibiscus tea is always an experience in itself, and even if you don’t have the time for it, it’s also fairly easy to know <a href="http://www.hibiscusteabenefits.net/weight-loss/">where to buy hibiscus tea for weight loss</a>.</p><h2>Hibiscus Tea: Counteracting Free Radicals</h2><p>Among its seemingly countless health benefits, however, it is the potent antioxidant properties of hibiscus flowers that catches much of the attention of health enthusiasts and researchers alike.</p><div id="attachment_74" style="width:310px;" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://www.hibiscusteabenefits.net/" rel="attachment wp-att-74"><img class="size-medium wp-image-74" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.hibiscusteabenefits.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Hibiscus-Tea-300x300.png" alt="Among the countless health benefits of hibiscus tea, it is the potent antioxidant properties found in hibiscus flowers that catches much of the attention of health enthusiasts and researchers alike.

Essentially, what antioxidants counteract are free radicals. Free radicals are destructive oxidation byproducts that are known to cause cellular damage.&nbsp; Modern medicine has it that antioxidants are crucial in the prevention of chronic health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and stroke.</p><p>Hibiscus tea is primarily made from calyces of dried hibiscus flowers. It is in these hibiscus calyces that the concentration levels of antioxidants are at the highest. Relevant bodies of research suggest that antioxidants found in hibiscus tea are especially helpful in protecting the body against low-grade chronic inflammation that could potentially result to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, premature aging, and even obesity.</p><h3>Lowering the Risk of Cancer with Hibiscus Tea</h3><p>More recent studies suggest that the plant-derived <em>hibiscus protocatechuic acid</em> has particularly pronounced anti-tumor and anti-oxidant properties. In line with this, researchers at the Department and Institute of Biochemistry at the Chung Shan Medical and Dental College report that hibiscus antioxidants show a natural tendency to delay the development of cancerous cells. Researchers believe that hibiscus does this by inducing apoptosis, otherwise referred to as cell death.</p><p>Like many other antioxidant-rich food sources, hibiscus tea is also packed with ascorbic acid Vitamin C which makes for much of its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. So if you’re feeling a little under the weather lately, then now might be the perfect time to replenish your body with a glassful of hibiscus tea. You can try adding a dash of sugar, cinnamon, or nutmeg to add to it just a little more sweetness.</p><h2>Video on How to Make Hibiscus Tea</h2><div class="jetpack-video-wrapper"><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center;display:block;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J0yuipPnWb4?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent">https://www.youtube.com/embed/J0yuipPnWb4?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent</a></span></div><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hibiscusteabenefits.net/2016/02/06/counteracting-free-radicals-with-hibiscus-tea/">Counteracting Free Radicals With Hibiscus Tea</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hibiscusteabenefits.net">Hibiscus Tea</a>.</p><p><img alt="" border="0" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=buddhateas.wordpress.com&amp;blog=101102527&amp;post=128&amp;subd=buddhateas&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" /></p><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/jakelsmith.wordpress.com/95/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/jakelsmith.wordpress.com/95/" /></a> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=jakelsmith.wordpress.com&amp;blog=99465266&amp;post=95&amp;subd=jakelsmith&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />Tim Harthttps://plus.google.com/101602786361352938930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226290617013654242.post-8001408588061295162016-02-03T17:45:00.001-08:002016-02-03T17:45:56.669-08:00Manage Cholesterol Levels with Ginger Root Tea<h1><strong>Ginger Root Tea: Cholesterol Control</strong></h1><p>Ginger root, scientific name Zingiber officinale, is quite possibly among the most cultivated spice plants in any part of the world.
